Amongst the several remedies proposed to mitigate or dimi fll the b urt h en of poor-laws, none has hitherto been brought . °7 Ward o r a d opted that would either induce or afford facilities to me able-bodied members of society, to be responsible for their own r4 PPoet. In a state of employment and health every one may be 1-irned capable of self-supportj; competition has, no doubt, re educed the rewards of labour to the standard of existence, ren ering it the more necessary that the smallest surplus, over exi 11aceniicitlies es, should b e carefully husbanded, in order that, by the best given to e conomy and the application of means to ends, ltd g be rend ered capable of supplying the deficiencies, caused by of employ ment, sickness, the several casualties of life, and by ldt :age• Over the frequent fluctuations in the quantity of ern -I°)newt, the e mp l oyed have ea controul ; and, as the cause is not !Pendent o n fi xed laws, but most frequently on the contingencies which__ affect the quant i ty of money, their duration or occurrence °a nti ot be submitted to calculation—at any rate the remedy is be yond their reach. The laws of sickness have been sufficiently as eocenrtatrbiineun • dtiofor b fixin' a provision app ortioned to the value of a given it is of but al t h o ugh such a provision is not to be overlooked, trifli ng employment, and compared to the hardships resulting from Want of ment, sick and u n p rov id e d o ld age . W ant o f employ ness, and old age, may fairly be classed under one head, statsolele of non - productiveness. To those, therefore, who rate / depend on their labour, which is seldom too highly remune when inus t be a matter of importance, out of their earnings -employed, to provide for every period of non-productiveness, from whichever o f t h .e fo regoing causes it may arise. .nIII._The two institutions open to the productive classes, are Sa vi gs. Banks and Benefit Societies, whose nature and scope, when the ev il be found te offer but a very imperfect remedy against not hsst being institutions wherein the limited means of this class arc Sevin made applicable to their several ends. contingent Banks are of unquestionable utility, but they afford no hoarded future advantage, and, besides, the sum that can be • ductive classseir ;commensurate with the wants of the middle pro • ,Benefit Societies propose to offer provision in sickness and old ,g e e + . but thei r construction will be foud imperfect, and their plan the pr o fi table application of the means of economy. 1 Because sickness itself is not a calamity of equal probable duration to the fluctuations in the quantity of employment and other casualties, and misfortune, against which they offer no protection. Bec ause, out of a given means, the sum laid aside for sickness must diminish the provision for old age. o Because many must contribute to the sick fund who never become chargeable upon it, and the value of such contribu tions. is lo s t to t h emselves and families. le Because sickness, being a state of non-productiveness, must necessarily be included in any protection against such an 00. . currence. , IV. Vari ous observations have been made on the duration of scness, amongst the ind us t r i ous c l asses, f rom an ear l y per i od of life .1 7 . e eT fit its close. Those mo s t i n use are ,— t h e s i c k ness amongst t h e Societies in Scotland, given by the Highland Society ;—the sickness amongst the labourers in the East India Company's Ser a ;--the sickness amongst persons employed in Cotton, Silk, °ll F lax, and in the Potteries, by the Factory Commissioners ; ' t - fand the sickness amongst the English Benefit Societies, from re culls made to the Societ for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. These results, though y varied, show how inconsiderable is the e t i altwu n . ,t of sickness uring that period of life, between the ages of - 65 , when each individual is more immediately thrown on his CRP resotirees ;—they are as follows : Average Average yearly Class of Persons.

' is Productiveness, by its recurrence in the same period, six years , 4t 156 ays. y• From the foregoing facts it must be obvious that provision in I irkuess, or a Health Assurance by means of a separate contribu sin", is unnecessary, more particularly as such separate contribu j'n must tend to waste the resources out of which the industrious , Osses have to provide for the future. It also in effect throws the , o ' ll ;tilen of the permanently sick on one class exclusively, instead of bile e ' e tY at large; who are thus called on for an act of benevolen ce, they are scarce able to do justice to the claims of their own s. Besides this, no compensation is given out of the contri atlOn fora rovision in sickness and old age to the families of t i,„ ll6 se who n e ver reach the age of 65, though death should happen , tT.unediately preceding it, and, if an assumed hypothesis is correct, , bll4t.,sickness befor e death is not more than five weeks, and taking IYlng-pay at 1 0s. per week, it will not unfrequently happen the , 1 1 3' return a man may obtain as a long and steady contributor to a ~'uefit Society, will not exceed 505., a sum scarcely equal to one ei W I , payment at a shilling per week, while by his death lie leaves tfaanily entirely unprovided for. i• It is to remedy these defects, inherent in the constitution of , . ocie , 'flefit S • ties that the National Loan Fund Life . Assurance , p r i,,,' le tY proposes to submit a plan _of Deferred Annuities on a new t„„"c l Pie, which will not only afford a snore ample provision for old r and protection against sickness and misfortune—but addi- • In c, the means at all times, of putting his energies in motion, and ,the event of Premature death, a better protection to his family. 'he plan proposed will embody several essential objects : t 1 . To secure an increased provision for old age out of a given fi c avi nt by applying it exclusively to the purchase of a L -err s 2. T Annuity. ° a ,, l.e uler the purchase of a protection in sickness unneces- t ssvitt'clruaYsv enabling the purchaser of a Deferred Annuity to , or borrow two-thirds of his previous payments. ( 3 By the use of two-thirds of all his payments when required, t to limit misfortune and want of employment, and extend the lower of productiveness by an increasing command, in e ach Year, of capital, so that, while providing for old age, each succesive contribution renders him more secure against t resent ruisfe:tuno. 4 • To afford, at the a ge at which the Deferred Annuity would commence, without reference to his then state of health, the •Pti.4l of receiving, instead of his Annuity, its value in money, according to the value fixed on the contract, or a 0r larger sum payable at his death. . In the event of death before the age at which he would be entitled to his Deferred Annuity, to return two-thirds of his paym ents to his family [ or such fixed Life Assurance as may be settled on the contract]. 6 . In all such cases where the power of productiveness fails, either from disease or accident, to enable the assured on equal terms to convert his Deferred Annuity into a present , Annuity. this Nothwithstanding the obvious and manifold advantages of is plan over every other hitherto proposed, for securing present ` t nd future competence to the industrious population, still more Striking advantages will be exhibited by contrasting its prospective riekvision for old age with that offered by Bene fi t Societies. This ses from the non-abstraction of given for a bene- i n sickness, which protection, a by the operation se p of arate the Loan 41 111 on the Deferred Annuity, is not only more ample, but other bsisfortunes are provided against, which if calculated, and a sepa rate contribution made for each, whose duration equals that of l 'ekness, the purchase of them w ou ld en ti re l y absorb the means of Providing for old age, while such a system must tend to discourage P r oductiveness, and afford no protection to a family in the event of r e rnature death. The object this plan embraces is to ope n f ac i- ,: t ies to the efforts of self-support, to stimulate the independence of ue class above the forced benevolence of another, while it recom :nibs itself to the latter by diminishing the burthen of Poor-laws, f o ',,, l eit . has been at all times irksome, disturbing the harmony and T r e,utmg the mutual distrusts of society. he followine- is a comparison of the benefits to be derived from -*,e co ntribution' of Is. per week paid into a Benefit Society, or to I rell lse a Deferred Annuity from the National Loan Fund uciety - Age Annuity Cash.lPolicy Sickness.l Loan.

FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL BANK OF IRELAND. On Monday, 16th April, 1838, the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland was held at the Company's House, Fleet-street, at eleven o'clock. On the motion of J. DwyEss, Esq., seconded by S. PA RYER, Esq., Alderman WILLIAM HODGES (Member of the Board of Directors), was unanimously called to the Chair, and read to the Meeting the Report of the Board as follows : " GENTLEMEN—In compliance with the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly meeting, the Directors have paid to Proprie tors a balance of 9,0001. received on account of third instalment, and 5,0001. on account of dividend struck in October, 1836. They have also paid off all remaining balances due to bankers, arising from the final close of accounts with them on foot of returned bills, or otherwise—making a total of payments since last meeting, on these accounts, of 24,312/. " Your Directors further proceeded with the gradual reduction of branches in those districts wherein a profitable return had not accrued, and the resumption of discount business, as well as the continuance of the ordinary operation of banking, at those branches which have proved remunerative, and from which past experience demonstrated that a fair profit might be anticipated. The result has been satisfactory, and progressive improvement is manifest both in the business and character of the transactions. The greatest circumspection has been used in the accommodation granted, and the issues at the several branches have been regulated solely by the legitimate action of commerce. " It is gratifying to reflect that the principle of Joint-stock Banks has been fully sustained by your Company, which, notwith standing the unparalleled difficulties in which it was placed by the peculiar crisis of the autumn of 1836, aggravated by the unreason able conduct of a portion of the proprietary, has, in little more than ono year, fully and entirely paid off all liabilities existing at the period of th e p ressure, w i t h out loss to any individual, incluing the full payment and cancelling of the note issue then outstanding ; re suming the ordinary course of business at the agency in Dublin and at twenty of the selected branches, with a new plate and issue, a numerous and wealthy proprietary located in those districts best adapted fer profitable commerce. " Your Directors trust that consideration for the welfare of the country will induce the other Joint-stock Banks in Ireland to act without reference to petty jealousies or narrow objects ; and that they will see that the interests of all parties are best promoted by fairly expanding, in place of unduly cramping, the energies of the country. Its resources are great, and the manner in which the agricultural districts of Ireland have paid off the obligations con tracted therein to your Company, warrant your Board in asserting that they are deserving of encouragement and support ; whilst, on the other hand,!improvident speculation should be discouraged, every legitimate assistance should be extended to develope the resources of the country, and assist the industry of the people. A Joint stock Bank should, to a fair extent, sympathise with the popula tion, and not be governed by the merely sordid consideration of pecuniary profit. The nobility and gentry should naturally support those institutions which best support the general interest and per manent welfare of their tenantry. " At this crisis your Board consider that such remarks are not irrelevant, as the subject of the Bank of Ireland Charter (which has, in date, expired) may now be co n s id ere d as b e f ore t h e Le gislature. Connected as that subject is with the best interests of Ireland and of the empire, your Directors anticipate that no system of expediency or of compromise will retard or control the broad principle involved in freedom of trade; and that, whilst the Bank Corporation may fairly retain privileges as a chartered body, yet that unwise restrictions upon other banking institutions will be removed, leaving open to all (under such salutary regulations as the wisdom of the Legislature may dictate) the trade of banking free, as in Scotland, unimpeded by invidious monopoly, thus in viting a legitimate rivalry with an equality of rights, (as far as legislation is concerned,) which must conduce to the well-being of the community. " The importance of the subject will naturally challenge the at tention of the leading men of all parties ; and your Directors, fully aware of its importance, deem it their duty to call your atten tion to it, and to impress upon the proprietary the utility of exertion to advance the interests of their property, by zealous co-operation with your Board. " In conclusion, your Board feel quite warranted by the progress made since the last metin g , i n stat i ng the i r conviction that the prospects of the Company are cheering, the best evidence of which will be found in the statement of assets and liabilities now sub mitted to you, which, with the guarantee of a numerous and wealthy proprietary (registered pursuant to the provisions of 6 Geo. IV., chap. 42), present a security to the public for the transac tions of your Company of an undoubted character. Without enter ing into minute particulars as to the nature of your surplus assets (amounting to 261,1971.) your Board feel justified in giving their opinion that, making those allowances which are usually incidental to banking transactions, an available capital, adequate for the due conduct of twenty branches, with perfect security to the public, combining safety and profit to the proprietary, may be fairly counted upon. Your Board refrains from adverting to the pleasing con trast which the present state of your Company presents to that which twelve months ago was sought to be imposed upon you, under circumstances rendered the more peculiar from results since ascer tained; the best vindication of the Board is found in the fact of your present position—with all liabilities then existing paid off, the security of the shareholders demonstrated, and the property of the Company (in place of being wasted by litigation) preserved with the Institution. " What has passed, however, may be buried in oblivion, and union, perseverance, and fair reciprocity inculcated for the general good. " Signed on behalf of the Daily Board, "JOHN VANCE (Belfast), Chairman." Adopted 14 the General Meeting, WM. HODGES ( Alderman) Chairman. It was then moved by WILLIAM EDMONSTON, of Belfast, Esq. ; and seconded by Mr. JOHN M'COY, of Clones : Resolved—That the Report and Accounts now submitted be received and entered on the minutes. Moved by JAMES DWYER, Esq. ; and secondedby F. WHITE, Esq.: Resolved—That we approve of.the limitation of Branches which has taken place, as mentioned in the Report ; and we further re commend such judicious curtailment of those existing Branches as the opinion of the Board, upon full investigation, may point out as proper and expedient.

And yet, there stands the thing ( 'leaven bless its dear little knaveship !) there—in her authorised version of the Word of God—stands the thing, as snug and smug as when, peradventure, hardly a man could have been found in the Church of England who would not have stood aghast at the very thought of its being even suspected of imposture by any wicked wight doomed, of course, for his sin against the Holy Ghost,. to " perish everlastingly." But—THE Church in error Havow ing herself in error ! We shudder, verily, from head to foot, and with our pious and good Immutables, exclaim-0 naughty-- naughty—religious Truth ! In the Press, and will spe e dily b e pu b lished THE RHINE: LEGENDS, IRADITIONS, HISTORY. FROM COLOGNE TO MAINZ. By JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq. The want of a work which should include all the " legends, traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarkable por tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long felt by the European public. It is quite true that much has been written on these subjects, in various languages ; and that a. great deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In so far the subject is not a new one. But• still it is not less true, that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par, titular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions which attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the spirit-stirring histories connected with its cities and towns and hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone th sole highway of central Europe, but the centre of European civilisation itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given zn any thing like an entire form to' the world. Ihe present atteimpt is made to supply, as far as possible, that desideratum in general literature. To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and to those who intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book that there can be no more acceptable offering. It is forurty hoped that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant beauties of the glorious scenes over which they have heretofore wandered, and fix them more firmly in their mer.tory by connecting them - with the facts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason, their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past, and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by it into one harmonious whole. The pains bestowed on this production, and the time employed in its completion, entitle th e A u th or to hope for public favour. - Nolling has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner. The whole will be complete in a series of twenty-four Monthly Parts., forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will contain two sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra vings from Drawings by Mr. Butler, illustrative of the Legends or thesLocalities. Each successive Part will also contain a double plate, forming a section of a most superior picturesque Panorama of the shores of the Rhine between the two Cities which form the termini. Part I will be published on the Ist May, Price One Shilling. Just ready, in 1 vol. Bvo. with Illustrations, AERONAUTICA, or an Account of the Balloon.
